"All the courage, all the virtues, all the heroic qualities, all the sacred spirits," he possessed." At the end of the novel, the young man, Marius, knew the identity of Jean Valjean, and made an appraisal of him. Indeed, Jean Valjean is such a person who thinks little of himself and thinks much of others.
Jean Valjean was born in a poor family, lost his father in his childhood, and his sister brought him up. Because of the pressure of life, he stole the bread, so for an extended period of time in prison, repeatedly escape. No one was willing to accept him when he got out of prison. People hid from him, hated him, looked at him in the same way, and he didn't even have a place to stay overnight, even the dog didn't accept him. The last time when he knocked on a door, a loving old man received him, that is, the elderly bishop of D - (Mi Liai). The old man earned his respect and love by virtue of his kindness. Still remember what he said: "this door does not ask whether the person who comes in has a name, but ask him if there is pain.". You have pain, you are hungry and thirsty, and here is your home." This is a great old man who uses his love to punish a convict who has just been released from prison, to warm him, to forgive him, and to cleanse Jean Valjean's soul. He reflected the goodness and innocence of human nature. From then on Jean Valjean decided to be a kind and honest man. He did.
I was deeply shocked to see here. Corresponding to the dark and ugly social phenomenon at that time, it was such a kind and selfless heart, and the noble moral character. In order to make some strangers do not hurt, he was a desperate, even willing to pay their own lives. You know how much courage and strength it's going to pay! All this shows us the dignity of a soul!
Of course, I also feel a tragic component: in such an era background, even if you are noble and great again, in the struggle against fate and social evils, it always seems a bit isolated and thin. But I think it is this disparity of confrontation that highlights the nature of the hero Jean valjean.
The whole novel is closely linked, planned and narrative clear. By describing Marius's incomparable reverence for Napoleon and his father, Peng Peng, he expressed his praise for the French revolutionaries. At the same time, the author also describes the evil man who has been created by endless misery and poverty. They abandoned their dignity in order to survive; they could please anyone for money; they also abandoned their children; they regarded their children as a hindrance; they lost their personality, roared like beasts, and did everything for their benefit. This is the true portrayal of the dark old society in france.
The world is doomed to be unfair, and poverty is doomed to prosperity. This book is the author expressed injustice dark feudal dynasty will eventually fall, mankind should dare to progress: "human beings are always in progress, and bloodshed is revolution." Since we are born in this world, we must continue to transcend ourselves and build a peaceful world.
